Bennie the Superstar: A Journey from Bottle to Big Boy


For the multitude of readers requesting an update on our little bottle-fed Summer Superstar, we have good news. Cheryl, Bennie’s new Upstate Mom, sends us pictures and videos showing Bennie’s good fortunes.

Bennie learning to eat with his three Big Brothers –

he’s a Big Boy now – one of the guys!

he loves to run and chase the Brothers,

but then he gives everyone a rest when he takes a break

Thanks to the US Postal Service for preserving Bennie’s sweet face (or some other lucky puss) on a Forever Stamp. It’s a collectible, right?

And thanks to Cheryl for the updates, pictures, videos – we miss him and are grateful to her for keeping us in touch.

Pretty has a new bumper sticker on her work truck:

You go, Pretty.

Onward.

    Hah, as if he’s a big boy now. I don’t think so! He’s so tiny and adorable!

      He was such a joy when we had him, and his new forever home is upwardly mobile! Plus, now he has three big brothers to play with, although evidently only one is interested in Bennie.

        That’s all it takes–one good buddy.

    How lovely to get updates. We love photos of them all eating together – a sure example of how well they get on. Bennie continues to be gorgeous and very lucky! It’s the sticker everyone should have…

      I almost cried when I saw Bennie eating with the Big Boys, but I couldn’t because i was laughing so hard at the videos of Bennie playing with one of them – he thinks he is the King of the Castle!! I hoped he would get on well with them, and seems he entertains them for now…bittersweet…we all miss him so much.
      Pretty gets the sticker and thinks everyone should have it, too. That’s my wife for you.

      He really is – I just love to see him with his three big brothers. He probably exhausts them, but they’re apparently incredibly tolerant.
      I love the stamp, too!!
